Japanese Cartoon - "Heirplanes" Music Video

Japanese Cartoon is a new band that is headed up by Lupe Fiasco ( Okay Lu, this should make us even. ). The band also consists of Le Messie who is the brains behind FALSE brand, which is the brand that collaborated with Lupe on the Fallacy of Rome range. Peep some of their pieces on Lupe himself below.



I digress, their music has been described as "an eclectic blend of rock, punk and electronica" .

Here is a video of their single called "Heirplanes" off their debut EP, In the Jaws of The Lords of Death. The video is directed by 13thWitness, whom you probably remember from a post we did on him. Peep the video and tell us what you think.

One of dudes favourite designers Jeff Staple ( who is responsible for the Pigeon Collaborations pictured below ) has a series of webisodes where he interviews people that he thinks are inspiring called "jeffstaple 1-2-1". In the fifth instalment he interviews 13thWitness.
